All matter is made up of

atoms.

--------------------------------------

Atoms are far too small to be

seen with a compound light microscope.

--------------------------------------

Atoms and molecules are always in

motion.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

Atoms move or vibrate faster at

higher temperatures.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

Interactions between atoms and/or molecules result in

the formation of compounds.

--------------------------------------

The atom is made of 4 Subatomic Particles:

Protons, Electrons, Neutrons, and Quarks.

Atomic # tells you the

# of protons inside the nucleus of an atom.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

Atomic # is like a

social security #.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

Atomic Mass tells you the

# of protons    +   the # of  neutrons inside the nucleus of an atom.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

Helpful Formula for determining the # of neutrons in an atom:

  ATOMIC MASS (# OF PROTONS + # OF NEUTRONS) 
–    ATOMIC # (# OF PROTONS) 
------------------------------------------
              # OF NEUTRONS

--------------------------------------

The term “subatomic” means

smaller than an atom.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

A proton is defined as a

positively charged particle found in the nucleus with a mass
of 1 atomic mass unit.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

A neutron is defined as a

neutrally charged particle found in the nucleus with a mass
of 1 atomic mass unit.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

An electron is defined as a

negatively charged particle found around the nucleus with a mass
of 1/1836 atomic mass units.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

What is the heaviest (or most dense) part of an atom?

The nucleus!
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

Most of an atom is made up of

empty space!
Back to Top
--------------------------------------

Maximum # of electrons found in the first 3 energy levels of any atom?

A maximum of 2 electrons in the first energy level, a maximum of 8 electrons 
in the 2nd energy level, and a maximum of 8 electrons in the third energy 
level.

--------------------------------------

Lithium has atomic # of 3 & atomic mass of 6.9, list # of subatomic particles.

3 Protons

3 Electrons

4 Neutrons (Because Atomic Mass - Atomic # = # of Neutrons)
                         7      -     3    =      4
